        Of course, the online multiplayer features are free to play. Once you have purchased the game, that is. Free to play refers to the online multiplayer features, not the initial cost of the game.

          That is MS you are paying, not Activision. I play the PS3 and I pay nothing to play online. I happen to subscribe to PSN plus, but not because I have to to play.

            That is a restriction imposed by Microsoft in order to support their network. It is not imposed by Activision. A pay to play from Activision for COD would be above and beyond what XBox Live charges.

                  I can see you are just trying to push buttons, but have you actually read anything about this in the gaming media coverage? When they mention free to play, they mean the online multiplayer, as opposed to subscription based online play.

                    Fascinating.

                    So a game is free to play, but first I have to pay $65 to play it. And if it is subscription based, it is not free to play?

                    What are we calling games that are actually free to play. for free? From the start?

                        I played enough BLOPs last night to get one more prestige (I was at level 44). I hate that game. Hate it.

                          • I am trying to get to level 70 by the time I pick up the new one but I have a long ways to go. Probably not going to make it.

                            • Those people who want in on x16intheClipx need to pm me for the deets. I suggest that we use some variation of our board name for the clan tag on it (e.g., my clan tag would be [niku]) so we know who is on any give weekend. Goal is to prestige as fast as possible with it.
